It's been 7 months since I've flown. Between my health issues, and a crappy spring season,, just hasn't worked out. I was cleared to go back to some sort of a normal life from the Dr. on Wed., and flying is part of my normal life. As strange as that may sound, to non-hang gliding pilots. For us pilots, living without flying, is like other people not being able to "take a dip in the swimming pool".
I'm going to go join those 8 other pilots.

A view of the Flight park shop, from over Scenic Highway, looking north.
Looks like the party is started below, and it's about 45 minutes before dark. Of course, who hasn't broken down in the dark?? and a little bit of dew on the sail?
Breakdown area,,and you can see the Pool Party going on in the background.
Let the jousting begin ! Supper table in the background. Menu for the night,,,,Hamburgers, hotdogs, baked beans, and all the trimmings,,,,along with a keg of beer,,,all for $5.. what a country.

Diana was crowned the Queen of the joust ! Pablo went Down ! haha
I learned a valuable lesson yesterday about the human body. If you spend however many years in a disabling state,,and you take measures to fix it, you get better. After you get better, the rest of your body that has been put on hold,,,,doesn't get better along with it. It takes time,,,careful, slow, deliberate time. And, if you over do it,,,,, you will pay ! I over did it a bit in the heat yesterday,,and today,,,between the heat & flying for an hour 1/2, lack of food, etc... I am paying for it a little today. Lesson learned,,,back to getting busy !
